Plain English Translation

A method for displaying a user interface involves a processor. The system allows users to define multiple trigger events, each with customizable parameters. These trigger events are represented by icons on the UI. The UI also displays a modifying icon, allowing users to select a trigger event icon and modify its associated parameters. An action icon is displayed, enabling users to select a trigger event icon and set actions to occur when that event happens. These actions specifically include filtering contact information or news feed information based on the selected trigger event. When a trigger event occurs, the system automatically performs its associated actions and displays the filtered contact or news feed information on the user interface.
